The new Resort 2027 collection from Empório Aragão transcends the season, diving deep into history to redefine luxury through color. This is a capsule collection inspired by the obsessive pursuit of the world's rarest and most valuable pigments, where every single hue tells a saga of power, alchemy, and enduring artistry.
Our designers have done more than merely replicate colors; they have captured their aura, texture, and prestige to create a palette that is, in itself, a wearable masterpiece. The collection is a testament to the meticulous labor involved in transferring these historic complexions into current, sustainable production mechanisms.

Discover the chromatic pillars that define the mood and sophistication of the Resort 2026/27 Collection:

• Bastard Amber (The Warm Peach Glow): A color of cinematic refinement, valued for its ability to create a warm, enveloping peach glow, mimicking the ideal light of a perfect sunset. It is the color of subtle luminosity.
• Copper Acetoarsenite (The Emerald Splendor): The vibrant and potent emerald green, synonymous with the pursuit of chromatic intensity. A favorite of Impressionist masters like Van Gogh and Gauguin, who used it to capture the unique life and vibrancy of nature.
• Mummy Brown/Purplish-Brown (The Mystery of Rembrandt and Titian): A deep, earthy brown with a unique tonal quality. The pigment was created in the obsessive search to replicate the richness and depth of the sfumatos of the Old Masters, such as Rembrandt and Titian, lending historical gravitas.
• Tyrian Purple (The Symbol of Royalty): Extracted from rare sea snails, this purple is the color of authority and exclusivity. A pigment so scarce that, in the court of Louis XIV, it was the ultimate symbol of power and prestige, reserved only for the most restricted elite.
• Ultramarine Blue (More Precious Than Gold): Sourced from lapis lazuli in Afghanistan, this celestial blue was literally more expensive than gold in the Middle Ages. It was used to confer the highest value and reverence on sacred figures, as seen on the cloak of the Virgin Mary in the works of Botticelli, representing the divine and the unattainable.
• Indian Yellow (The Luminous Dutch Hue): A warm, transparent, and exotic yellow, highly prized by 15th-century Dutch painters for its extraordinary luminosity and quality of sheen, adding a touch of Oriental mystery.
• Violet de Bayeux (The Enigma of Transition): A hue that symbolizes the bridge between antiquity and modernity in color. Historically associated with the medieval tapestries of Bayeux, this violet represents the challenge of replication—the moment artisans sought, with early synthetic methods, to capture the majesty of Tyrian Purple. Its inclusion celebrates our ongoing effort to honor the past through Empório Aragão's design technology.
• Laque-Carminee (The Most Valuable Scarlet): The most luxurious red in history. This lake pigment, extracted from a tiny New World insect, was a closely guarded trade secret by the Spanish in the 16th century. Cherished by masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer for its radiant transparency and incomparable luminosity, Carmine Lake lends a depth of scarlet that symbolizes power and passion.
• Cremnitz White (The Ultimate White of the Old Masters): The historical white of supremacy, named after the region that produced the finest version of this pigment. Crafted through a laborious, months-long alchemical process known as the Stack Process, Cremnitz White was the only true opaque white available for millennia. Cherished for its unique, warm luminosity and its incredible ability to bind and strengthen oil paint, it provides the collection’s essential lightness.
• Petroleum Blue (The Depth of Modern Luxury): This sophisticated, hybrid hue—poised between deep blue and emerald green—is the color of serene confidence. Emerging into high fashion during the Art Deco era, Petroleum Blue evokes the rich, mysterious iridescence seen on precious stones.
• Ivory Black (The Warmth of Absolute Shadow): The most prized black of the Old Masters, historically derived from the charring of ivory, symbolizing exotic rarity and profound depth. Unlike stark modern blacks, Ivory Black carries a warm, velvety brown undertone, which prevents flatness and adds luxurious dimension. This tone is crucial for Empório Aragão’s structural silhouettes and bespoke tailoring, ensuring that our garments possess shadows that are not merely dark, but rich, alive, and eternally elegant.

Each pigment in this collection possesses a feminine and masculine aura—the beauty and softness of the final color in contrast with the arduous labor, science, and adventure of its creation.
